In the Museum you can see the magnificent collection of artifacts from the Hellenistic and Roman sculptures, statues, architectural fragments, bronze and ceramic products, household utensils, a variety of funerary objects and more. Among the most interesting exhibits is to provide a well-preserved bust of God Organos (2nd century BC), terracotta figurines of the early Roman tombs, bronze hydria (4th century BC), a sculptural group "the Hunter and the boar" (3rd century BC) and funerary steles Paterinos Antigonou and Adea Kassandrou. In the courtyard of the Museum houses numerous sarcophagi, funerary steles and statues, among which the most interesting exhibit is the Medusa's head, Dating from the 2nd century B. C. the Museum also houses ancient artifacts from Neolithic NEA Nicomedia is the oldest known settlement in Europe. The iron age is represented by finds from the burial ground at Vergina.
